A few short years back my cousin needed some pictures of her son, Tommy, done quickly. "Nothing fancy we can do it behind my apartment" I believe she said. At the time I only had a 50mm 1.8 and my new Nikon D610. We used natural light and came out with some really nice images. This time however was different as I have changed the way I shoot. But, I decided to stay with the 50mm and the Nikon D610! A lil more exploration of the Glen Foerd grounds is needed! I spotted a few areas I have yet to use as backdrops.

Nikon D610. Nikkor 50mm 1.8. Flashpoint XPLOR 600.

As you can see now, I have integrated more flash into my portraits. I feel it adds drama and gives me the look I am going for. Once again thanks to my apprentice (and son), Anthony, for being a patient and studious light guy. He is quick to understand what I am asking for and occasionally reminds me of small things I may be overlooking while trying to capture the image the way I want. The new extension head and carry bag for the Flashpoint XPLOR 600 has made things easier for him. I am very pleased with the system in general and looking to upgrade my entire lighting system.
